B&M shoppers secret hack to bag £120 furniture for £20 – and there’s loads of other discounts too
THERE are many reasons why you might be feeling a bit gloomy in January, with the rubbish weather, dark mornings and having to tighten your purse strings after Christmas.
Whilst you might not be able to do anything about the first two, one woman has revealed how she makes her money go further – and got furniture for just £20 at B&M.
Rather than spending ages looking for specific discounts, all you will need is your phone and an internet connection for this hack.
In fact, Tiktok user Holly Louise now swears by this hack after discovering the huge discounts she could get at B&M – just by opening an app.
According to the influencer, she was able to get a stunning TV stand worth £120 for just a fraction of the price.
Even more surprisingly, the item and packaging weren’t damaged and she didn’t have a gift card.
Taking to social media, she explained: “I wanted this which was £120, I scanned it and it was actually £20!”
Though it sounds too good to be true, there is a surprising reason for the massive reduction.
For those not in the know, B&M will often drop the price in its system without updating the price tags in-store.
However, you can use the discount store’s nifty app to make sure you are bagging a real bargain.
Simply open the B&M app and scan your item’s barcode to check if there are any offers on the product – yes, it really is that simple.
This isn’t the only way to save in store though, as you might be able to find even more reductions if you shop at the right time.
One former B&M manager, Roxanne, claims that the best time to visit is during the middle of the week.
Having worked in the Brighouse, Huddersfield and Shipley branches for over eight years, she revealed that Wednesday morning is often when prices are slashed.
“If the company wanted rid of something to make room for new stock they’d discount things to 10p. It’d be anything and everything including £30 bedding sets, curtains, rugs etc,” she said.
Though reductions do happen throughout the week, the ex-deputy manager explained: “They do price changes every Monday to Thursday, but the main one was on a Wednesday when they’d do quite a lot at once and they’d drop the prices to 10p.”
This tip is especially good for any early risers, as the prices will usually be updated by 10 am meaning you can bag a bargain before lunch.
You can also shop for end-of-season items, such as Christmas and Halloween decorations which will be dramatically reduced just after the holidays.
This is also true of winter gear in spring and summer items in autumn, so make sure you are looking in the clearance section before you checkout.
Now you know these tips and tricks, you can easily make your money go further at the discount store.
